Abstract:AIM: To evaluate the effect of all capsule polishing with polishing mode for decreasing the occurrence of posterior capsular opacification(PCO).
METHODS: Totally 194 eyes(162 patients)were performed phacoemulsification, posterior chamber intraocular lens were implanted. One hundred eyes were performed with all capsule polishing with polishing mode; 94 eyes were performed with the polishing apparatus.
RESULTS: The patients were followed up for 12mo.Six eyes(6.0%)of PCO were found in the 100 eyes with polishing mode group; 15 eyes(16.0%)of PCO were found in the 94 eyes with the polishing apparatus group. The difference was significant(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: It can decrease the occurrence of PCO by performing all capsule polishing with polishing mode.
